Clinical Accuracy of Instrument-Read SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Tests (Ag-IRRDTs)

Table 2

Sensitivities extracted from 13 different Ag-IRRDT performance evaluation studies related to 15 cases for reference qRT-PCR values of Ct <30 (waived between 29 and 33) which yields an increase in pooled sensitivity value of the group from 0.73 to 0.85.
